It shouldn't matter what Trent's intentions are! If you want to keep Huard, you sign him now. It's a freaking business and Trent understands how it works...he's a big boy. The point about the offensive problems stemming from the sharp decline of the o-line is correct. Our receivers were just as poor last year, however, we didn't have to depend on them as much. Trent didn't have as much pressure because people were scared of LJ. The defense is BETTER than last year's version, although you'd never know it by reading many posts around here.
Anybody who is blaming Herm for our current problems really hasn't thought this thing through. We saw this day coming, didn't we? That line was aging before our eyes over the last couple of years and it was only a matter of time before things came apart.
KC is several positions shy on both sides of the ball right now. We can argue over which needs are the greatest, but the bottom line is that this team needs 2-3 good drafts and 2-3 good years of smart free agency transactions before we are where we need to be.
As for the comments about Shields being equally good straight ahead as he is on the move, I disagree. I think Will used to be very effective as a base blocker, but he has taken a few steps back in that area. He has always been a GREAT pulling guard because he is agile and can adjust so well on the move.
